Testing Performance
This section documents performance test procedures. Performance
verification for the products covered by this manual consists of three
main steps:
• Performing the internal product self-tests to ensure that the
measurement system is functioning properly
• Calibrating the product
• Testing the product to ensure that it is performing to specification
Performance Test Interval
The procedures in this section may be performed for incoming
inspection and should be performed periodically to verify that the
oscilloscope is operating within specification. The recommended test
interval is once per year or after 2000 hours of operation. Performance
should also be tested after repairs or major upgrades.
Performance Test Record
A test record form is provided at the end of this section. This record lists
performance tests, test limits and provides space to record test results.
Test Order
The tests in this section may be performed in any order desired.
However, it is recommended to conduct the tests in the order presented
in this manual as this represents an incremental approach to
performance verification. This may be useful if you are attempting to
troubleshoot a suspected problem.
Test Equipment
Lists of equipment needed to conduct each test are provided for each
test procedure. The procedures are written to minimize the number and
types of oscilloscopes and accessories required. The oscilloscopes in
these lists are ones that are currently available for sale by Agilent at the
time of writing this document. In some cases, the test procedures use
features specific to the oscilloscopes in the recommended equipment
